New programme to feature 'extreme sleep activity'

ITV1 is to feature a programme about unusual sleeping habits this autumn, Broadcast has reported.

As part of the broadcasters factual output, Things I Do In My Sleep, will document people who display a range of bizarre behaviour after lights out.

The programme, which was recorded by the independent HDTV production, features a man who creates artistic masterpieces while dreaming, a sleep-eater who cooks a range of complicated recipes using knives and the oven and a number of sleepwalkers.

All the individuals involved claim their extreme sleep activity is ruining their lives.

Meanwhile, the BBC is also working on a programme about sleep.

The documentary is called 10 Things You Didn't Know About Sleep and it is due to be aired early next year.

Even people who do not suffer from extreme sleep disorders can struggle when it comes to dropping off at night.

A Vi Spring mattress can prove useful for some as they allow for perfect alignment of the body.
